She didn’t multiply -1/4 by 12 in order to get -1/4x + 3 = -1

which would change her answer, because then you have to subtract 3 from -1 and get -4. Then divide -1/4 & get 16. It changed to positive because of the division & multiplication rule with two negative numbers.


Hope this helps.

What is the solution to the system of equations? y = –3x – 2 5x + 2y = 15 (–40, 19) (–19, 55) (19, –40) (55, –19)
kobusy [5.1K]

Step-by-step Answer:

What is the solution to the system of equations?

y = –3x – 2 ..............(1)

5x + 2y = 15..............(2)

Substitute (1) in (2) to give

5x + 2(-3x-2) = 15

5x-6x-4 = 15

-x-4=15

solve for x:

-4-15 = x

x=-19

Now substitute x=-19 into equation (1)

y = -3x-2 = 57-2 = 55

Therefore the solution is (-19, 55)

10 is 5% of what number
GarryVolchara [31]
We can use proportion to get the result
10 ----------- 5%
x ------------- 100%
Crossmultiply proportion

5*x=10*100
5x=1000     /:5 divide both sides by 5
x=1000:5
x=200 - its the answer

Savatey [412]

Answer:

5x+y=23

Step-by-step explanation:

y+2=-5(x-5)

y+2=-5x+25

y=-5x+25-2

y=-5x+23

23=y-(-5x)

23=y+5x

5x+y=23
